Manually Configuring your Router

DHCP Server

The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically. The default setting is “On”. The DHCP server can be turned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do so, you must manually set a static IP address for each computer on your network. To turn off the DHCP server, select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.

IP Pool

The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the computers on your network. If you want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting and ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”. The starting IP address must be lower in number than the ending IP address.

Lease Time

The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each computer. We recommend that you leave the lease time set to “Forever”. The default setting is “Forever”, meaning that any time a computer is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, the IP address will not change for that particular computer. Setting lease times for shorter intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after the specified period of time. This also means that a particular computer’s IP address may change over time. If you have set any of the other advanced features of the Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these are dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you will not want the IP address to change.

Local Domain Name

You can set a local domain name (network name) for your network. There is no need to change this setting unless you have a specific advanced need to do so. You can name the network anything you want such as “MY NETWORK”.

DHCP Client List

You can view a list of the computers, which are connected to your network. You are able to view the IP address of the computer, the host name (name of the computer in your network), and the MAC address of the computer’s network interface card (NIC). Pressing the “Refresh” button will update the list. If there have been any changes, the list will be updated.
